   Looking at those top three ratings: FOX NEWS, SONE OF ANARCHY, and CNN, it really highlights just how many people watching FOX NEWS are old.

   Good to see Sons of Anarchy survived and did good. Damn Underemployed must of did horrible. Hopefully it will do good next week.

   Well it seem the only shows to survive the Debate massacre were reruns(Family Guy, TBBT, American Dad).

   Covert Affairs did OK. Hopefully next week it rises to at least 1.0.

   I wasn’t expecting big ratings for Underemployed given it had no lead-in but hoped it would rank. Enjoyed the pilot a lot looking forward to the second episode.

   Numbers for Underemployed please?

   I’m really hoping it isn’t bad! The Pilot was really good.

    I actually surprisingly loved Underemployed last night. I’m disappointed that it doesn’t seem to have done well.

    Oof, debate night but still, Underemployed not in the top 100?? 2nd bomb in a row for MTV that didn’t make it. Bet they wish they didn’t drop Pants (or even gasp skins) now.

    It can be also a case of skewing very young. Remember, this list takes into consideration the first 100 in 25-54, not 18-49. The target audience of the show is very young people.

    @Shelly

    Skins had disappointing ratings plus advertisers pulling out left and right. Pants was completely lead- in dependant and had anemic ratings towards the end/no buzz.

    @Obveeus – winning the 18-49 means they skewed old? All while having more viewers than FX and CNN COMBINED. Stop trolling

    I haven’t watched MTVs Underemployed yet..I wanted to see the ratings before I got invested in another series that will get cancelled. Its ashame MTV can’t seem to find another scripted series to hit. Hopefully this means Awkward season 3 might come sooner rather than later.

    I loved Underemployed! Really hope it did well :/

    @ jenny
    Pants averaged 1.5 and change and excellent reviews. Hard to know if it was lead in dependent but my point is MTV as a cable net is as guilty as broadcast — they don’t try to build anything.

    Check out the ancient repeats of Full House pulling in 1.7 million viewers.
